Revenue Growth and Operating Performance:
- OSI Systems reported record revenue of $420 million for Q2 fiscal '25, representing a 12% increase year-over-year, with a strong 16% year-over-year revenue increase in their Security division.
- The growth was driven by excellent execution in the security sector and solid results from the Optoelectronics and Manufacturing division, as well as strong bookings with a 1.2 book-to-bill ratio.

Positive Cash Flow and Financial Health:
- OSI Systems generated operating cash flow of $53 million in Q2, a $76 million jump over the same quarter in the prior fiscal year.
- This improvement was due to strong profits and an improvement in working capital metrics, indicating a return to strong cash flow dynamics.

Investment and Acquisition Strategy:
- The acquisition of the RF Solutions business was highlighted, contributing $23 million in Q2 revenue and enhancing OSI's global reach and capabilities in critical security and surveillance systems.
- The acquisition aligns with OSI's strategy to grow its defense and security sector, leveraging its existing customer base and financial muscle.

Product and Service Expansion:
- The Security division has expanded its installed base, leading to increased recurring service revenue opportunities, with a focus on enhancing offerings through platforms like CertScan.
- This expansion in service revenue is expected to contribute to higher margins, providing a predictable stream of ongoing revenues.
